To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why may not I be a martyr of Jesus Christ as he was, whose intercession is implored in this place ?" From that time he never ceased sighing after the glory of shedding his blood for Him who redeemed us by his most precious death. St Bomuald coming to the emperor's court in 998, Boniface, charmed with his saintly deportment, begged to be admitted into his Order, and received the habit.
It was with the greatest regret that the emperor saw him quit his court ; but he thought he could not oppose hi...s holy resolu- tion, lest by so doing he should incur the divine displeasure.
Boniface inherited the spirit, and all the admirable virtues of the great St Bomuald. He who had been accustomed to sleep on soft beds, to wear rich garments of silk, and to eat at the table of an emperor to whom he was most dear ; he who had long seen himself environed with the pomp and splendour of the world, and had been the first and the most favoured of the courtiers, and of all the princes of the empire ; contented him- self with one poor coarse habit, walked barefoot, knew no other food than insipid roots and pulse, worked with his hands, earned his bread with the sweat of his brow, led a retired life, lay on straw or boards, and often, after having worked all day, passed the whole or the greater part of the night in prayer.
